Yes, the document I was validating was XHTML 1.0.  So it
sounds like you're saying that your validator only validates
HTML, not XHTML.  Is this correct?

The file is XHTML.  Do you still want an XHTML document with
<ol> that your validator let's slide?  (Note:  I doubt it'll
be a problem, but there's a small possibility that I may not
be able to reproduce it.)

I glanced at it, and noted that it's an HTML, not an XHTML
validator.  Although it did say something about XHTML help.
Anway, was there something in particular you wanted me to
look at?  Or were you saying this beta version may work
better?  I wouldn't mind testing it out, at least on that
one file, although I'll likely stick with the stable version
for now.
